Thermal Properties of Matter : Weightage in NEET and JEE Exams

For NEET 2022 Physics, the average number of questions that appear from this topic is 1 to 2 which is 2% of the total marks.

In JEE 2022, the entire Thermodynamics comprises 3% of the total marks. 

 It is noticed that every year, JEE mains has about 1 to 3 questions on thermal properties of matter.

Some of the common topics that can be asked from thermal properties of matter are:

Heat

Definition, SI unit, the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water to certain values. Also, know this, 1 calorie = 4.18 joules.

Temperature

Definition, scales used to measure the temperature, relationship between different temperature scales.

Thermal Expansion

Definition, the type of expansion in solid, liquid and gases.

Definition of linear expansion, area expansion, volume expansion and the relationship between these 3 expansions.

Learn all mathematical expressions, formulae, units and solve some numerical problems to cover the allocated weightage of thermal properties of matter.
